Impact of an Automated Best Practice Alert on Sex and Race Disparities in Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator Therapy.

Sex concordance between patient and provider showed a trend toward impacting the rates of electrophysiology referrals (HR, 1.18 [95% CI, 0.99–1.42]; P =0.07) but not of ICD implantations (HR, 1.12 [95% CI, 0.91–1.37]; P =0.27).

Interestingly, when examining the rate of referrals to electrophysiology by race in the No BPA group, Black patients exhibited a trend toward less referrals (HR, 0.73 [95% CI, 0.49–1.09]; P =0.13; Figure 3A ), but this trend was reversed in the BPA group (HR, 1.15 [95% CI, 0.85–1.57]; P =0.34; Figure 3B ), with a trend toward significance for the interaction between race and BPA ( P =0.076).

In Black patients, the impact of the BPA on electrophysiology referrals showed a strong trend toward significance compared with White patients, by nearly reversing the relationship in favor of more electrophysiology referrals and ICD implantations among Black compared with White participants.

In more than one instance, our analyses revealed trends, some of which did not reach statistical significance.
